Thanks for the invitation, count me in.

The two things are both nit-picking really!

Typography

I would not be able to work on that editor for too long. The text doesn't have enough line hight and and I don't like the type - it hurts my eyes. The font style in this editor (here at dev.to) is easier to read then the fond style in your editor (screenshot bellow).

However, I could be wrong because, if I remember correctly, both evernote and scivener (definitely scivener) use similar font to your editor. I think is crappy - that's the only reason I don't use evernote. But, considering so many people use those apps, I must be wrong - even though, honestly if I was a writer, at some point I would stop using you otherwise great app.

Basically, if your code editor use that font-family, would you be able to code all day?

As for "I want to add outlines on..."

I can't see it being a big "must have" but if I my memory is correct, this is the only feature I loved in scrivner. Basically, topics within topics.

My chapter has three topics (as you called them) "Events, Scenes, Conversations". I have 5 scenes in my head. At the moment I can write them just as I wrote this comment, and have headings "scene a", "scene b" ... . What if I have the ability to create each scene as a sub topic? The end result is 5 seperate scenes in the scenes topic.

This is exactly what I had in mind:

(Incase you're wondering, the book is called "The amazing Bob" - ha)
